Arizona's Advantages

We are not going to dispate t. The summe.s are as hot in Arizona as m al- most any other portion of the United States. But We are really fond Of the season, for, ah, there are comforts and iuxuries that come with the weather that more than compensate for it's lack of frigidny. There's the watermelon

DEMOCRACY AND THE COURIER
COMMUNICATED.

Said the Courier of the I7th inst. Democracy made us nation" This is truly great, and to the benighted peo- pie of the United States, remarkable news.
 The people of the United States, from the days of Calhoun, in fact, since Thomas Jefferson's time. have been taught by the leading democrats that the United States was no, a nation, but sinpsyso league Compact, between SOW ereign states.
 That party, upon the musings, Tn the writings of its leaders, and in the plat forms of its national and state conven- tions, iierated and reiterated as q car dinal doctrine of the party, lhs these United States are nothing more nor less than compact between sovereign and independent states.
 Ii is true that the great rebellion knocked that heresy out of time so far as ihe norhe,n democrats are concerned, yet the southern democracy still chngs 10 the dogma, and state sovereignty and state rights are still cherished as a car- dinal idea of government by that people and few northern dough-faces, who al ways sneeze when their southern leaders take snuff.
 But this is not all the laudltion of the democracy by the Courier. He further says tha; democracy made us the frees, and greatest on earth"
 The truth of history contradicts the writer. It IS notorious tha; the demo cratic party has always been pro-s.ayery and even during the war den unced the proclamation of Presiden, Lincoln as an unwarranted assumption of power, and in rS64 that party declared the war q failure, and demanded that t should cease and let the "wayward sisters go Tn peace" wi,h slavery and all
 If democracy in the United States had had its wish, instead of its being tue 'ffeest' nation of the earth, We would now be compact of states with nearly one-hah of our population held in bond age.
 The truth IS. the country is indebted alone to the republicans and few union democrats for its being a ''nation" and 'the frees, and greatest on earth" OyNN

The Boston Journals Portland special says the smallest amount of ship building in Maine for 10 years has been done the past year. In 1877, the tonnage of vessels constructed in Maine ship yards amounted to 79,308 tons. From 1877 to 1881 there was decrease in work done, but in 1882 the tonnage was 75,0s4 Since then each year has witnessed the total suspension of work in an increasing number of yards, until only 56 vessels with a tonnage of 15,094 tons have been built the past year. These are divided as follows Eight steam CTS, one bark, two barkentines, 10 sloops and 35 schooners. As a rule, there has been n decrease in the average size of ves- sells from 1885, and more schooners have been built than for any year except 1885 during the past decade. At present. the only demand is for vessels for fishing pur- poses and the coasting trade. The out look appears even more discouraging than it did a year ago.

The champion mean man turns
up in a different city every day.
Every section has him-Florida
and Maine and Pennsylvania and
California all produce him and
turn the electric light on him so
they all may see. The latest /
have heard Of is a druggist i'm an
adjoining state, who had as Il GUS
toner one day, a little girl who
asked for a glass of soda water,
and after the pill-mixer had drawn
the glassful Of sweetened wind the
child laid down four cents to pay
for it. Its five cents" said the
druggist. "But only have four"
pleaded the child. The druggist
was one of those mean spirited
misers, whose soul would rattle
around in a mustard seed.
"I'll fix it," said he; "I'll drink
a penny's worth and you can drink
the rest" And forthwith he swal-
lowed large mouthful of tire soda
water and handed the balance
to the little girl, who drank it and
walked out. I've heard of the man
who offered his children each a
penny to go to bed supperless, and
then in the morning demanded
their pennies as pay for breakfast,
but the soda water man can dis
count him.

rooms and the dining rooms, re-
ceive little ventilating and purify
ing the air, when it can be done with
SO little trouble and no expense. A
pitcher of cold water placed on a
table or bureau will absorb all the
gases with which the room is filled
from the respiration of those eating
or sleeping in the apartment. Very
few realize how important such
publication is for the health of the
family or, indeed, understand or
realize that there can be any i'm
purity in the rooms, yet in a few
hours pitcher or pail Of water
the colder the more effective-will
make the air of the room pure, but
the water will be entirely unfit for
pse. In bedrooms a pail or pitcher
of water should be always kept, and
changed often if any one stays in
the room during the day, certainly
be put in fresh when the inmates
retire. Such water should never be
drank, but either a covered pitcher
or glass bottle with stopper should
be used for drinking water, and al
ways be kept closely covered. I'M
pure water causes more sickness
than ever impure air, and for that
reason, before using water from q
pump or resivoir for drinking or
cooking, ono should p9pP Or draw
